Is img-fx.com legit or a scam?
Unofficial clone of Google's Image FX offering free AI image generation, flagged for brand impersonation and mixed trust signals.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The site presents itself as a free AI image generator using Imagen technology with no sign-up required. Our analysis shows it is a clone of the official Google labs.google/fx/tools/image-fx page, which raises immediate concerns about legitimacy. The domain is over a year old with clean hosting reputation and valid SSL, yet one review aggregator gives it a poor trust score while a Reddit user reported positive experiences. No malware or phishing detections appeared in our scans, but the lack of any business registration or contact details adds to the uncertainty. These factors together point to a moderate-risk wrapper service rather than outright malware.

Possible brand impersonation
This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.
- Treat img-fx.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Go to the brand's real site directly
Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.
- Never download or sign in here
Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.
- OpenReport the impersonation to the brand
Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
